$800 per month food budget? Do you all eat rice and hamburger helper every day? I live alone and have kids every other weekend and spend upwards of $1000 per month on food. 

what about an inflation? What you paid for it is not worth what it was when you were buying it. 

I don’t think it had tailgate down, you could open the window up or the whole hatch up but nothing was opening down on these... 

I bet that they somehow found a way to make it “shake at idle” :) 

I got a 2020 GTI in September of 2020 for 12% under MSRP. 6MT S base for $27k out the door. I guess I lucked out about 6 months before things turned really ugly. 

you’re right, a trucker needs to have his/her wheels spinning in order to make money. One would think that truckers wouldn’t really be interested in sitting idle at a bridge or at a capital for weeks as that brings them no money especially since one could be making thousands of CAD for any load within Canada and much…

About. Damn. Time... 

blower motor frozen by the ice in the cowl? what sort of weird contraption of a car do you drive? Never heard of anything like that being even possible much less happening. 

I agreed with all :) 

OMG, a first ever opinion piece that I agree with in 100%. All of this stuff listed needs to go. I’d add to it the electric parking brakes. Give me the proper handbrake lever so that i can “cure” stupid oversteer if all of a sudden we run out of front tire grip. This becomes especially useful in winter when the quick…

it will not be an investment but a speculation. Investments make you money regularly. Depreciating assets such as cars are never an investment. Put the $49k in an index fund and you’ll have triple that in 15 years with very low risk.

price for being an early adopter. There is plenty of affordable cars that don’t sell at a markup if you don’t need to be the one with the latest and greatest. Priorities, man...

the issue is that people don’t feel like spending a half a day stranded somewhere to wait until their EV charges if they couldn’t get it charged at some super charge or at home. If charging could be made to take 5 min, it would solve problem for everybody, even people that can’t charge at home because they live in an…

exactly. I could live with an EV that has a range of 100 miles if I could fill it up in 5 min just like I do my ICE car. 

one could argue that it could be. That plant will supply any region of the world where the economics of a total landed price to that destination supports it. 

a spark EV? thanks, i’d rather use a bicycle...

now many homeowners actually have a space in their garage for a car? most cars I ever see are in driveway since there is other crap/storage in the garage. 

or we need to abandon the entire concept of charging via a cable all together. it’s an ill conceived concept that will be a huge roadblock to EVs becoming mainstream for years. I don’t want to be dealing with plugging in wires and dealing with cars occupying chargers in public spaces for longer than necessary. This is…

can’t believe that nobody mentioned Colin McRae Rally or Richard Burns Rally yet. Best rally sims ever.

as soon as I got to “Peugeot 205" i lost interest in anything you may want to say... :)
